Leviticus 18

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

2 Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.

٢ «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

3 You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.

٣ مِثْلَ عَمَلِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ ٱلَّتِي سَكَنْتُمْ فِيهَا لَا تَعْمَلُوا، وَمِثْلَ عَمَلِ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا آتٍ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهَا لَا تَعْمَلُوا، وَحَسَبَ فَرَائِضِهِمْ لَا تَسْلُكُوا.

4 But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.

٤ أَحْكَامِي تَعْمَلُونَ، وَفَرَائِضِي تَحْفَظُونَ لِتَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

5 So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.

٥ فَتَحْفَظُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، ٱلَّتِي إِذَا فَعَلَهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَحْيَا بِهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

6 You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.

٦ «لَا يَقْتَرِبْ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى قَرِيبِ جَسَدِهِ لِيَكْشِفَ ٱلْعَوْرَةَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

7 You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.

٧ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيكَ وَعَوْرَةَ أُمِّكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهَا أُمُّكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا.

8 And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.

٨ عَوْرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبِيكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهَا عَوْرَةُ أَبِيكَ.

9 You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.

٩ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِكَ بِنْتِ أَبِيكَ أَوْ بِنْتِ أُمِّكَ، ٱلْمَوْلُودَةِ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ أَوِ ٱلْمَوْلُودَةِ خَارِجًا، لَا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا.

10 You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;

١٠ عَوْرَةَ ٱبْنَةِ ٱبْنِكَ، أَوِ ٱبْنَةِ بِنْتِكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا. إِنَّهَا عَوْرَتُكَ.

11 Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.

١١ عَوْرَةَ بِنْتِ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبِيكَ ٱلْمَوْلُودَةِ مِنْ أَبِيكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا. إِنَّهَا أُخْتُكَ.

12 You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.

١٢ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِ أَبِيكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهَا قَرِيبَةُ أَبِيكَ.

13 You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.

١٣ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِ أُمِّكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهَا قَرِيبَةُ أُمِّكَ.

14 You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;

١٤ عَوْرَةَ أَخِي أَبِيكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِلَى ٱمْرَأَتِهِ لَا تَقْتَرِبْ. إِنَّهَا عَمَّتُكَ.

15 Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.

١٥ عَوْرَةَ كَنَّتِكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهَا ٱمْرَأَةُ ٱبْنِكَ. لَا تَكْشِفْ عَوْرَتَهَا.

16 You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.

١٦ عَوْرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَخِيكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهَا عَوْرَةُ أَخِيكَ.

17 You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

١٧ عَوْرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ وَبِنْتِهَا لَا تَكْشِفْ. وَلَا تَأْخُذِ ٱبْنَةَ ٱبْنِهَا، أَوِ ٱبْنَةَ بِنْتِهَا لِتَكْشِفَ عَوْرَتَهَا. إِنَّهُمَا قَرِيبَتَاهَا. إِنَّهُ رَذِيلَةٌ.

18 And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.

١٨ وَلَا تَأْخُذِ ٱمْرَأَةً عَلَى أُخْتِهَا لِلضِّرِّ لِتَكْشِفَ عَوْرَتَهَا مَعَهَا فِي حَيَاتِهَا.

19 And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

١٩ «وَلَا تَقْتَرِبْ إِلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ فِي نَجَاسَةِ طَمْثِهَا لِتَكْشِفَ عَوْرَتَهَا.

20 And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.

٢٠ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةِ صَاحِبِكَ مَضْجَعَكَ لِزَرْعٍ، فَتَتَنَجَّسَ بِهَا.

21 And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

٢١ وَلَا تُعْطِ مِنْ زَرْعِكَ لِلْإِجَازَةِ لِمُولَكَ لِئَلَّا تُدَنِّسَ ٱسْمَ إِلَهِكَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

22 You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

٢٢ وَلَا تُضَاجِعْ ذَكَرًا مُضَاجَعَةَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ. إِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ.

23 And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

٢٣ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ بَهِيمَةٍ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَتَنَجَّسَ بِهَا. وَلَا تَقِفِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ أَمَامَ بَهِيمَةٍ لِنِزَائِهَا. إِنَّهُ فَاحِشَةٌ.

24 Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

٢٤ «بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ لَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا، لِأَنَّهُ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ ٱلشُّعُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا طَارِدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ

25 And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

٢٥ فَتَنَجَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. فَأَجْتَزِي ذَنْبَهَا مِنْهَا، فَتَقْذِفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ سُكَّانَهَا.

26 So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:

٢٦ لَكِنْ تَحْفَظُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي، وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلرَّجَسَاتِ، لَا ٱلْوَطَنِيُّ وَلَا ٱلْغَرِيبُ ٱلنَّازِلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ،

27 (For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them; )

٢٧ لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلرَّجَسَاتِ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا أَهْلُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَنَجَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

28 So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

٢٨ فَلَا تَقْذِفُكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِتَنْجِيسِكُمْ إِيَّاهَا كَمَا قَذَفَتِ ٱلشُّعُوبَ ٱلَّتِي قَبْلَكُمْ.

29 For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.

٢٩ بَلْ كُلُّ مَنْ عَمِلَ شَيْئًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلرَّجَسَاتِ تُقْطَعُ ٱلْأَنْفُسُ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُهَا مِنْ شَعْبِهَا.

30 So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

٣٠ فَتَحْفَظُونَ شَعَائِرِي لِكَيْ لَا تَعْمَلُوا شَيْئًا مِنَ ٱلرُّسُومِ ٱلرَّجِسَةِ ٱلَّتِي عُمِلَتْ قَبْلَكُمْ وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».
